The band, who are now known as The Fizz, released their first album in over three decades - The F-Z of Pop - last month.

The show will take place on Thursday (October 19) at The Baths Hall.

They were formed in the early 1980s and went on to represent the United Kingdom at the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest in Ireland and won it.

Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston and Bobby G were household names thanks to their iconic skirt ripping routine and the song Making Your Mind Up was an instant hit giving the group their first number one.

Bucks Fizz managed more than 50 million records worldwide. They collected countless music industry awards including, in 1982, Best Group at BPI Rock & Pop Awards (now known as the BRIT Awards), and an Ivor Novello Award, cementing their place in 80’s music history and a highly successful recording career.

Thirty-five years later, Cheryl, Mike and Jay, joined by Bobby McVay, are still touring and showing that The Fizz and their songs are as popular as ever.

Bringing together The Fizz and Mike Stock, many would say, should have happened 35 years ago.

But now a hallmark band from the decade and one of the period’s most defining writers and producers have finally collaborated.

Mike Stock, who came to prominence as part of Stock, Aitken and Waterman, is now acknowledged as one of the most successful producer-songwriters in pop music history. The Fizz have re-recorded three classic Bucks Fizz tracks and a whole host of new songs, including some penned by the band themselves.

"The Fizz are part of British pop heritage. They are extraordinary artistes. Still holding the crowd and wowing them! This kind of uplifting entertainment never ages. It was so much fun working with them because they are great performers and we all had a great time making the album. Which is why I'm already planning the next," Mike Stock said.

Speaking about the new album, Cheryl Baker said: "I cannot tell you how happy I am to have been back in the studio, my favourite place and with the genius that is Mike Stock. I am so proud of this new album and I know Fizz fans will love it too!”

Mike Nolan added: "It's a long time since we've been in the studio and this, to me, is the best thing we've done. I think everyone sounds great, especially me! Haha!"

Speaking about the recording process, Jay Aston said: "Enjoying every moment of the thing we love to do the most. Working with a real pro has been a delight. Despite the challenges over the years, we are more united than ever. The fans have been with us all the way. Really looking forward to performing these new songs and hope you enjoy the new album."

Speaking about joining the band, new member Bobby McVay said: "Totally under pressure working with the leg-ends that are Cheryl, Mike and Jay and some little bloke called Mike Stock. (He'll kill me for that!) Recording the new Fizz sound, which sounds absolutely amazing (especially Mike Nolan, of course!), I can't believe my wish has come true. Living the dream!"

Speaking about performing in Scunthorpe before, Cheryl said: "I am sure it was an amazing gig but if I am absolutely honest, I cannot remember! I could be having a blonde moment!!!"

Speaking about being on the road, Cheryl said: "It is great being on tour with The Fizz as we get to meet fans and the people who have followed us over the years and also the fans who haven’t seen us since the early 80’s."

Speaking about the show, Cheryl said: "Fans will get all the nostalgia of the early 80’s with all of our number ones and top 20 hits plus an 80’s medley that will have fans dancing in the aisles. We will also be performing a few tracks from our latest album - The F-Z of Pop."

Speaking about the recording process, Cheryl said: "It is so much quicker than it used to be plus Mike Stock is a genius to work with. On average, we recorded a song a day and that would have taken weeks back in the 80’s.

"It was fabulous being in the studio again especially because it was working with Mike Stock. He really knows his stuff! I cannot wait for the next album!"

Speaking about the new member of the band, Cheryl said: "Bobby feels as though he has been with us since the beginning. He has settled in perfectly. He lives in Italy so he has commuted for this tour. What a jet setter!"

Speaking about the band's plans for the rest of 2017, Cheryl said: "We will take a break from each other to pursue solo projects, for instance, Mike will be in panto in Folkestone and I will be doing a television project."
